Scintillation properties of lead tungstate crystals doped with the monovalent ion lithium

摘要

Lithium-doped PbWO4 crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method. Optical absorbance, X-ray excited luminescence, light yield measurements and X-ray pulsed excited decays have been investigated. Li+ doping has a very good uniformity and could enhance the luminescence of PbWO4, give some contributions to the "fast" decay components. (C) 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
